[QUOTE="DSGNator, post: 13808637, member: 158648"] I just bought a 2003 Cobra coupe this week. The car is beautiful, only got 33k miles on it, clean car fax (for what it's worth) 2 owner car. It already had a pretty good bit of mods done to it, nothing that I wasn't already planning to do myself. The car is 10 years old so I understand it's not going to be on par with new car quality. (My last mustang was a 2012 GT. But that's another strory.) My biggest concern with it at the time is a pretty noticeable vibration that occurs when I shift into 6th gear. I can tell that the tires either have flat spots or are out of balance so I'm going to get that issue fixed this weekend. But the vibration when I shift is more noticeable than the tire vibration, it feels like it's coming more from the rear of the car. It does have the solid axle swap in the rear, and the previous owner had the 4.10 gears removed and 3.73 gears installed in place of them. The vibration only seems to be prevalent if I'm in 6th gear traveling 70mph or below. Once I get up to 75+ it goes away. One theory I have, aside from tires being unbalanced, is that I'm simply not used to this car yet. Maybe 70mph is too slow for 6th gear and it's simply just riding rough because I'm shifting into 6th too early. Hopefully getting the wheels/tires balanced with help the issue, and hopefully I'm just not used to how this car drives (Never driven anything with 3.73 gears before this.) Has anyone experienced anything similar to this? *I apologize if there's already a similar thread to this. I looked through the "Before you post" list of threads and didn't see anything.
